This is the final installment of our Season of Creation theme “Let Justice and Peace Flow Like a Mighty River,” it is the Sunday closest to the Feast of St. Francis, and it is World Communion Sunday – the occasion for our special denominational offering to support racial and ethnic students in achieving their educational goals and transforming communities. Your generosity continues to provide scholarships, grants, mentoring, and training for leadership development. Fifty percent of the offering provides scholarships for graduate students from the U.S. and other countries. Thirty-five percent supports racial and ethnic scholarships scholarships pursuing ordained ministry and includes a mentoring program. Fifteen percent funds Ethnic-In-Service Training Grant for leadership development, recruitment, training, and retention of ethnic United Methodist persons in leadership positions in every level of the church and its ministry.
